1933 Butt Bow
Female, a pre-Code movie with Ruth Chatterton, presented a perfect butt bow I knew Wendy B. would appreciate.

George Brent’s expression says it all, doesn’t it?

And one more divine screen capture showing Ruth’s amazing costumes.
Happy Wednesday.






Great find!
I would love to wear something like this, but let’s be honest, people already think i’m nuts.
That is pretty divine. I wonder what a 2009 butt bow would look like?
There’s far more bow than butt, I think … but gorgeous no less. Love how the black ribbon straps dip down into the bow.
Wow — that puff-shoulder plaid number could’ve walked off the runways from recent seasons, easy!
That dress is killer. Wish I could pull off a butt bow! :)
That’s just what I need — a butt-bow to make it even bigger back there, Ha! I adore the plaid top with the puff sleeves, though!
I am going to be getting hitched and as I am not the ‘usual’ bride (i.e. not 20 yrs old) I have the luxury of wearing anything I want. This would be pretty show-stopping….love it!
That’s one of the glam-est examples of butt bows I’ve seen to date (and I’ve been reading Wendy’s blog a loong time now lol).
exquisite dress, the black & white combo keep it elegant and sexy
Ooo! I love the hair of that period. The waves were so high maintenance, but so beautiful.
